Donaldson Joins Couric: Warns GOP of Limbaugh, Beck & Palin (Video)

Sunday, November 8, 2009 Jim Hoft

Sam Donaldson on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday warns Republicans not to follow the lead of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck:

Let me tell you that the wake-up call for the Republicans was the New York’s 23rd. Now just as Rush Limbaugh couldn’t prevent the Party from nominating John McCain despite his best efforts, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and the gang could not prevent that district for the first time in a hundred years from going Democratic. Because they had a candidate, well he wasn’t a Republican, I understand that, who was the Sarah Palin values, the robocalls and all of that. It didn’t resonate. It doesn’t resonate with independents. If the Republican Party follows the course of Palin and Beck and Company it’s doomed.

And we all know that state-run media lackey Sam Donaldson has the GOP’s best interest at heart.

Via NewsBusters

Just last week Katie Couric warned Republicans to stay away from Limbaugh and Palin. Donaldson is lagging a bit behind with his party talking points.

That’s what you call a coherent analysis, Donaldson?

Let me try to understand. Donaldson is giving Republicans honest advice because he sincerely wants them to succeed.

Or is it that he’s saying the opposite of what he believes is true, because he doesn’t want them to succeed.

As always, the libs are terrified of Palin because she has what Reagan had.

Talk about completely misreading NY 23!

NY 23 is the reason Republicans SHOULD follow Beck, Rush, Palin and others who want to make it clear the Republican Party needs to get more Conservative.

The result of having a DIABLO vs. the dim who won was exactly zero.

My advice:

1. Note what Liberals say Conservatives should do.

2. Do the exact opposite -- a LOT.

It’s comical how the commie libtards pretend to be concerned about the GOP. In reality, it’s their own @$$e$ they are worried about. Both Donaldson and Couric are wondering just how much further the leftwing extremists in the government are going to be able to push Americans before they finally snap. Well, Sammy boy, it’s like this, we’re almost there.

Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and the gang could not prevent that district for the first time in a hundred years from going Democratic.

EVEN the lying NYT couldn't out do this lie! ! ! ! ! !

From the 1990 obituary for one Samuel Stratton: He was the third-most senior Democrat on the Armed Services Committee when he announced in 1988 that his failing health prevented him from running for a 16th term. He was first elected to the House in 1958, becoming the only Democrat in 42 years to be sent to Congress from what was then the 32d Congressional District in the Albany-Schenectady-Troy area. Despite several redistrictings in a predominantly Republican area, he was returned to Congress with ease every two years and became dean of the New York delegation in January 1979. At his retirement, Mr. Stratton represented the 23d District.

Donaldson and all the lefty Marxist toads remind me of the Wizard of Oz.. “Do not listen to that man behind the curtain”.

For myself, I will continue my Rush 24/7 service, and continue
to listen to Savage, and all the others that have RIGHT speak.

The more the left tries to get us to tune out of RIGHT speak, the more I know it is successful.

Let’s see ...

Virginia elects a GOP governor ...

New Jersey, that RAT bastion, elects a GOP governor ...

Seven elected officials in Texas switch from RAT to GOP (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2379418/posts)...

... BUT ...

NY-23 is some “proof” that RAT values are sweeping the nation ...

Sure Sammy boy, we will follow the Izzzlumic geehodist murdering thug in the White House. That is the guy we will follow. The blood of the 13 dead at Fort Hood is on his filthy hands as far as I am concerned. He is a muslim hoodlum clear and simple. Stupid Americans voting for their own destruction gave us this thug. Thanks to all those clearly stupid and ignorant who voted for this pig.

Yes, the concern of Eurosocialists of the sophomoric variety for us constitutionalists is soooo genuine and touching.

I could not help but notice as the Fort Hood news was breaking on ABC news as they interrupted conservative talk radio on WMAL in Washington that the ABC news person informed us that members of the military “swear an oath to the military.” Apparently “Constitution” is a word that they just cannot get themselves to say.

That settles it. The GOP needs to dump Palin and Limbaugh. Instead we should follow the media darlings: Dede Scozzafava, John McCain, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and Joseph Cao.

The GOP should listen to a news media that can’t figure out why Major Hasan did it. And that thinks that spending 1.2 trillion dollars for government-run healthcare is a really good idea.
